Answer:

The amount of investment should be $1926.891 approximately

Explanation:

The following formula has been used to calculate the amount of investment

A = P(1+r/100) ^n

where: A = future value , P = present value , R = rate of interest , N = time period

Hence , applying the formula, we get,

$5500 = P (1+6/100) ^18

Hence P=$5500/ (1.06) ^18

=$1926.891(approx)
